Fun stuff, right? I asked the Crafty Cohorts a few questions about their biz:

Q: Tell us a little about yourself.

A: Crafty Cohorts is a husband and wife pair who enjoy crafting. We've both enjoyed crafting for years separately, but just started selling on etsy and "channeling" our craftiness into etsy last year! It's been a lot of fun to explore making new things, learn more about ourselves, and make custom items for our customers.

Q: How did you get into comic and washi art?

A: I love most anything Asian – anime, art, washi paper, and etc. I actually had some washi paper laying around from a potential project that never got started, and I decided to make mini notebooks out of them. After I'd made notebooks for a month we decided to make some mini comic ones and from there we slowly grew into what we are today !

Q: What makes your products stand out from the others in their genre?

A: Our items are unique, this ensures they stand out. We've only seen a few other sellers selling comic notebooks but theirs are either spiral bound or generic romantic kiss notebooks or etc. No one else makes them like we do. I think the most important thing about etsy is making/selling unique items. It's hard to be noticed when so many other people make the same items as you.

Q: Which is your favorite product?

A: My favorite product would be the Washi paper pencils or notebooks. My husband is a comic book collector so his favorite items are the comic book mini and large composition notebooks.
